OK, I have to agree with Florida Jim

With grilled marinated chicken last night I went to the cellar to find a matching wine. Opened the '05 Terres Dorees L'Ancien VV Beaujolais. This wine is fantastic, full bodied fruit, easy to drink, nice finish and very reasonable; plus my wife gives it two thumbs up. Florida Jiim buys it by the case, I buy 4 bottles each year from CSW. He is right and I am going to correct my problem today.

This is one of the very few wines that I have ever bought by the case (or close to it). Which reminds me ... it's getting to be time to try another one ...

Walt,
I decided that I need to order some of this wine to see what everyone is talking about. Checking some of the larger online wine stores and I don't find the 2005 vintage, but do see the 2006. Am wondering if anyone has had the 2006 and if so how it compares to the 05. Am thinking of splitting a case of it between red and white so what is your opinion on that too. Thanks.

Bob,
I buy this wine regardless of the vintage and you are correct it seems only the '06 is available. That is what I am buying. I have had their Chardonnnay and everyone says great things about it but I just found it OK and look elsewhere for my whites. Just my opinion and probably in the minority but I am just not a Chard fan except in Chablis.
